المَزامِير 43

١ 1 يَا اللهُ احْكُمْ بِبَرَاءَتِي، وَدَافِعْ عَنْ قَضِيَّتِي ضِدَّ شَعْبٍ لَا يَرْحَمُ. أَنْقِذْنِي مِنَ الْغَشَّاشِ وَالظَّالِمِ.

Judge me, O God, and defend my cause against the vnmercifull people: deliuer mee from the deceitfull and wicked man.

٢ 2 لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ حِصْنِي. لِمَاذَا رَفَضْتَنِي؟ لِمَاذَا أَطُوفُ نَائِحاً مِنْ مُضَايَقَةِ الْعَدُوِّ؟

For thou art the God of my strength: why hast thou put me away? why goe I so mourning, when the enemie oppresseth me?

٣ 3 أَرْسِلْ نُورَكَ وَحَقَّكَ فَيُرْشِدَانِي، وَيَأْتِيَا بِي إِلَى جَبَلِكَ الْمُقَدَّسِ وَإِلَى مَسَاكِنِكَ،

Sende thy light and thy trueth: let them leade mee: let them bring mee vnto thine holy Mountaine and to thy Tabernacles.

٤ 4 فَأُقْبِلَ إِلَى مَذْبَحِ اللهِ، إِلَى اللهِ فَرَحِي وَأُسَبِّحُكَ بِالعُودِ يَا إِلَهِي.

Then wil I go vnto the altar of God, euen vnto the God of my ioy and gladnes: and vpon the harpe wil I giue thanks vnto thee, O God, my God.

٥ 5 لِمَاذَا أَنْتِ مُكْتَئِبَةٌ يَا نَفْسِي؟ لِمَاذَا أَنْتِ قَلِقَةٌ فِي دَاخِلِي؟ تَرَجَّيِ اللهَ فَإِنِّي سَأَظَلُّ أَحْمَدُهُ، لأَنَّهُ عَوْنِي وَإِلَهِي.

Why art thou cast downe, my soule? and why art thou disquieted within mee? waite on God: for I will yet giue him thankes, he is my present helpe, and my God.
